Patient's question:
What are the common causes of female infertility?Doctor's answer:
The main reasons for female infertility are as follows:1. Vaginal diseases Due to congenital factors such as vaginal atresia or vaginal septum, sexual intercourse may be obstructed or difficult, affecting the entry of sperm into the female reproductive tract. Infections caused by fungi, trichomonas, gonococci, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc., can lead to vaginal inflammation, altering the biochemical environment of the vagina and reducing sperm vitality and survival, thereby impacting fertility.
2. Cervical lesions Congenital abnormalities, atresia, or stenosis of the cervical canal, polyps, erosion, tumors, or adhesions can all hinder sperm passage. The presence of antisperm antibodies in cervical mucus is unfavorable for sperm penetration through the cervical canal or may completely render sperm inactive.
3. Uterine factors Developmental abnormalities or malformations such as congenital absence of the uterus, immature uterus, or solid non-cavitary uterus can affect female fertility. Uterine fibroids, endometriosis, endometrial inflammation, and uterine adhesions are all causes of infertility.
4. Tubal factors Prolonged or narrowed fallopian tubes, as well as tubal inflammation leading to lumen obstruction, hydrops, or adhesions, can impede the movement of sperm, eggs, or fertilized eggs. Tubal diseases account for 25% of female infertility and are a major cause of the condition.
5. Ovarian factors Factors affecting follicular development or ovulation, such as incomplete ovarian development, luteal insufficiency, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, or ovarian tumors, can all lead to infertility.
